Reccomended temp range for GTX 570?

Yeah my 780 hits around 80°C when under heavy load so I wouldn't worry about it.

If i were to add another fan, should it be pushing air in or out? It would be right beside the videocard.

Pushing air in would probably be a good idea but if you have room for 2 fans that's even better. 1 fan pushing air in near the graphics card and 1 fan near the top of the case pushing hot air out

I can do that, i will try and pickup an extra fan later today.

I've setup my fan. The temperature looks good

Well that's one way to keep it cool, but i hope your not really going to use that to cool it

Is it running 79c just on being idle? If so that's a little high for idle temperatures but if that's under load then that seems ok. But you should probably up the fan speed just to be safe, if your getting 80-100 that's a little on the rough side but then again I'm not in expert at this stuff.

I am running a GPU intensive program. My fan speed is currently set to 50% I am working to change it.

Get the gpu fan speed up to 100% at 60*C. All gpu's run a different temps but should be in the low 40's at idle and under 80*C at 100% load. GPU's can handle much higher temps than most other chips.
